Thumbs up

OMG!!! I would love to do that!!! I took an adult gymnastics class last year at my daughters old gym and had the time of my life!!! I learned my BHS (by myself on tramp--you gotta start somewhere!!) and learned my front handspring and front tuck on floor!! But...since we switched gyms I haven't tumbled in about a year. Definitely let me know more about it!! Private message me if you want.
Thanks!!

I'd love to do that, but sadly I think I'll be in school.

Man, to me, that's worth going over to America for!

I've always wondered too, with maximum age limits. Normally they cut it off at 18, but if you were over that age bracket, and still were willing to work hard, would they let you in?
also was thinking of coaching a camp like woodward west at some point...do you think you could coach some weeks, and train for one?

i would ask them about being a coach and a camper. i don't see why they wouldn't. you have to make it worth your flight!
check out their sight, the there is a link for "visiting coach application"

i haven't competed for 15 years. i found an open gym for fun off and on for a couple of years in college, but when i came back from college i was too old for the insurance. for 1.5 yrs i have been working at a gym that lets me workout. it is so much fun and amazing exercise. i love my gymnastics and yoga.

Have you signed up?! I just discovered myself that Woodward offered the adult week, and I am totally willing to go! After speaking with the camp, I found out that 6 adults students are already signed up, and that we get our own cabin, and a later curfew, woot! I haven't really done "real" gymnastics for twelve years, and after telling my husband, he gave me the strangest look when I said I wanted to go for the week. I had to join an adult gymnastics class to convince him I really want it, and also to get some skills back too! Fell free to message me if you are signed up, I want to know someone there!

~Good luck and good tumbling~

i have not signed up. honestly, i forgot about it because i didn't have any other people interested. it sounds like sooo much fun. and it wouldn't take too much to convince me to do it, if i knew others.

I didn't either, because it's far too expensive (and I don't have the money) to travel to America just for that.

Plus, I still train 6days a week anyway.
